Lyrics
We dim the light, we stoke the fire
We breathe the evergreen
Young ones wait while the old ones make up
Tales of how it used to be
China dolls, candy corn
Painted wooden toys
Treasures found to the wondrous sound
Of caroling the Savior
Born to us on Christmas morn
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel
Emmanuel, God with us
The son of Israel
And still he calls through the night
Beyond the days of old
A voice of peace to the weary ones
Who struggle with the human soul
All of us travelers
Through a given time
Who can know what tomorrow holds?
But over the horizon
Surely you and I will find
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel
Emmanuel, God with us
The son of Israel
And the years, they come
And the years, they go
Though we may forget somehow
That the child once born in Bethlehem
Is still among us now
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel
Emmanuel, God with us
The son of Israel
The son of Israel
The son of Israel
